The validation.xml contains a reference to a DTD file at the top of the file. This section references a DTD file present on the Jakarta web-site.
When there is no net connection available, Tomct throws an exception, saying that the file couldn't be found.

If that issue is such a concern, delete it from the top of your validation.xml.

Its not just the exception. This would mean that my XML file may contain invalid entries, since its the DTD's job to validate the entries in the struts-config.xml or validation.xml files.

Well there is always an option that you download the .dtd file on your local system and place the appropriate SYSTEM "path_to_dtd_file" instead of that PUBLIC reference to the jakarta web site.

That's precisely what I want to do.
Here's the entry in my validation.xml file.

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd">

I have downloaded the struts-config_1_1.dtd file from the Jakarta site.
Assuming I store it in my webapp's root directory, what should the above entry in my .xml file(s) be replaced with?
This might sound too simple, but I have found it quite annoying.
I want a quick solution, and don't really have the time to figure out the solution myself.

Note: The path specified for SYSTEM is relative to the xml file
<!DOCTYPE struts-config SYSTEM "struts-config_1_1.dtd">
In this case the dtd is in the same folder as the xml file.


Even this should work, i.e. specifying the SYSTEM identifier following the PUBLIC identifier. The word SYSTEM is implied.
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "../struts-config_1_1.dtd">
In this case the dtd is in the webapp's root directory assuming the xml is in WEB-INF.

I have not tried these, but they should work. Let us know which one worked for you.
